My doctor has been pushing me to get a sleep study done, but I know that’s just a prelude to a predetermined diagnosis of “sleep apnea.”
My sleep study probably saved my life.
I have snored all my life (even when skinny) and my sleep study registered 94 instances (stopped breathing) per hour, with half of those being central (neurological) events.
This can strain your heart and possibly cause a stroke. There are recent studies showing apnea can damage your brain.
Get the sleep study.
“I know that’s just a prelude to a predetermined diagnosis of “sleep apnea.””
Yep. Selling machines as fast as they can.
It’s like that 70’s Show episode where the modeling “agent” asked the girls to flip their hair then declared them “amazing models”, and for only a bunch of money she would represent them.
Don’t ignore sleep apnea.
You could be flirting with death every night.
Long term you could end up with congestive heart failure.
Had the study and surprise surprise, they said I had certainly sleep apnea with over 40 episodes per hour or something (per minutes maybe? Can’t remember now) any way, I got an app for sound recording,on phone, where it only records if there is sound. Listened to a few. Nights worth of sleeping, and did t hear any 40 no-breathing events. It was all steady by breathing.
Try a sound app see if u can hear anything out of ordinary mzybe?
